Like Bill said, you have to specify the class of the container before you
specify the tag, with a space in between. But, you can also make your CSS
more general by leaving off the DIV part from his code, and use:
.nav a:link {color: #0f0;}
This will set the link color for all <a> tags within *any* container with a
class of "nav", whether it be <div>, <table>, <p> or whatever.
